I am considering a C-more 15 " for a new machine build. The equipment is an indexing table. Simply, I need to animate objects in a polar way - around & around the table. I played with the animation demos and just wasn't real pleased with the results. The point-to-point looked haphazard. Any good suggestions on how to best accomplish this?

I did something simular. I used the drawing tools to draw a circle and then lines to divide it up equally. Using the point method, I just pointed to each intersection on the circle. I used a v-memory to load numbers to move the object around the circle. I was not able to rotate the object itself. It stayed upright as it moved around the circle. A little clunky, but it worked. Would be nice feature to move in a circle.

I ended up with the same solution, just now! Looks like it'll work. Really time consuming, though. "Rotate-About-Axis " sounds like a super idea for an improvement, huh?
